    OpenCart, it has the best looking templates, pretty much all the plugins you need & it's easy to use for the client.

  • Blesta and then WooCommerce

    @Licensecart,

    Blesta, but it's not the sort of online store I'm looking for :P

    @ztec indeed, looks pretty good!

    Not my thing but I hear Magento is popular. Never admin'd it personally. It does have a community edition.

    I wouldn't wish it on anyone ;)

    It's actually really good but I've never met a customer that knew how to make it less than horrible. Default settings are pretty bad. Varnish + disable logging, that's the key.

    I had zencart running for a good couple of years.. I really liked it, pretty easy to find solutions on Google fix all your problems.. not sure how it is now..

    The couple of times I did try Magento, it felt really heavy on resources, and that was a new install.

    WooCommerce is great too, but you'd have to make sure your client understands why it doesn't look 100% like a webshop backend.

    Thank you for your advice folks, I've investigated all the e-commerce systems you mentioned, I appreciate your help!

    Magento is the best for hosts. Client who can get by on shared, needs a VPS. Someone whose site can work fine on a VPS, needs a dedicated. Magento is built for more money for hosts :P

    Yes certainly, however, I've never liked Magento much (I might change my opinion as I haven't tried it lately), I'm considering to go ahead for OpenCart though! :)
